How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?

A moment later, Liu Sisi stepped out of the elevator and walked towards his car.

A hint of coldness lingered on the woman's delicate and elegant face. Her black business suit accentuated her graceful posture, exuding a serene and understated charm.

She approached step by step, as if stepping on the very tip of Lin Xuedong's heart. His mind reeled, his heart pounded involuntarily, a mixture of excitement, fear, guilt, and shame.

Having not seen each other for many days, Liu Sisi's feelings were equally complicated.

My mind raced, trying to figure out how to talk to him once we got in the car. Or rather, what I should say to him, and where to begin...

"Click~" She opened the passenger door, and a floral fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

A large bouquet of champagne roses caught her eye; it was beautiful. Liu Sisi's heart leaped with joy, and her pink lips curved into a slight smile.

She bent down and glanced at the man inside the car.

"Honey, these are flowers for you. Do you like them?" Lin Xuedong moved the bouquet aside for her, his smile revealing his doting affection.

Liu Sisi got in, one hand gripping the seatbelt, a cold glint in her eyes. She scrutinized his expression, took the flowers, and casually asked, "You just got back?"

Lin Xuedong's heart tightened slightly as he glanced at her pale face and met her cool gaze, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Yeah, just got off the plane." He turned his head away, pretending to start the car. Then, while driving, he joked, his tone full of apology. "I passed a flower shop and realized I've neglected my wife for several days, so I'll give you some flowers to make up for it~".

"How is this neglect? You were clearly on official business, doing serious things! What reason do I have to blame you?" Liu Sisi couldn't help but mock him.

Lin Xuedong chuckled softly, glanced at her sideways, and then his expression relaxed considerably. "Sorry, honey. I just heard the shop assistant say that 36 roses represent 'My love is only for you,' and I hope you like my sentiment."

"Tch! Stop being so sweet-talking and offering help for no reason... Have you done something wrong?" Liu Sisi glanced at him sideways, feeling angry as she recalled Zeng Ziyan's repeated provocations.

"Where? It's in G City. The acquisition has been delayed a bit." Lin Xuedong's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be confused and said.

"Is everything settled?" Liu Sisi was never one to neglect official business, and she asked with concern.

"Yes, everything is set up. For the next six months, I'll probably have to go there every month to oversee things. Once management and production are running smoothly, we can hand it over to the local management team."

"Oh." Going there once a month, does that mean Zeng Ziyan will accompany you?

"Oh?" Lin Xuedong knew this little woman was disappointed again, and he smiled. He reached out and took her small hand in his, his thumb stroking the back of her fair hand. "Sisi, I'm sorry. I've been so busy these past few days, I really haven't been able to get away. But I miss you. How about I take you with me on my business trips from now on? Okay?"

"I don't care anymore, I'm most afraid of attracting gossip." She muttered softly, the frustration that had been weighing on her heart slowly dissipating under his teasing.

"Hehe~, but I love it. Having you as my wife makes me so proud." Seeing her lively and affectionate behavior in front of him, Lin Xuedong felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"No!" He was always eloquent, using both threats and inducements, and could often deceive her with just a few words. Liu Sisi knew she couldn't out-argue him, so she could only try her best to defend her bottom line.

"Sizzle---!"

The car suddenly veered onto a small road within a green belt and stopped in a quiet spot shaded by large trees.

"What's wrong?" Liu Sisi stared, looking puzzled.

Lin Xuedong did not answer. He unbuckled his and her seatbelts, grabbed the bouquet from her hand, and threw it into the back seat.

Then he leaned over and hugged Liu Sisi, resting his chin on her shoulder. His warm, moist breath, along with his tender, gentle voice, reached her ear. "Sisi, let me hug you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tightened his arms and embraced Liu Sisi's slender body tightly in his arms.

At that moment, his handsome brows furrowed, and his heart pounded violently. He felt bewildered, guilty, and at the same time, utterly terrified.

Liu Sisi felt him holding her tightly, and she could vaguely smell the scent of tobacco on him. She couldn't help but frown slightly, becoming even more certain that he was acting strangely.

"Sisi~, Sisi~." He called her name softly, so tenderly, yet his heart was filled with immense pain.

Liu Sisi patted his back, protesting uncomfortably, "Okay, I can't breathe anymore."

Lin Xuedong slowly loosened his grip, his breathing slightly labored. Looking into her eyes, which gleamed with injustice and discontent, his heart ached fiercely.

Without thinking, almost instinctively, he lowered his head and leaned closer, wanting to kiss her.

The woman turned her head away, and his lips barely touched the corner of her mouth. Then, a pair of slender hands pushed her chest away, and Liu Sisi's porcelain-white face showed impatience, her delicate brows furrowing. "Dirty!"

dirty!

This one word made Lin Xuedong's heart skip a beat, and his body paused slightly.

Realizing his own nervousness, he pursed his thin lips, trying to calm his earlier excitement. In a flash, he composed himself, his expression hardening, and stared at her with a half-smile, asking, "Mrs. Lin, what do you mean by that?"

"Why are you so guilty? Don't you know you'll be dirty after getting off the plane? You even smoked. Are you upset?" Liu Sisi suppressed her urge to question him. She didn't want to bring up those unpleasant things right now; the atmosphere was just not right.

Lin Xuedong's expression darkened slightly, as he continued to feign a smile to mask his unease. "Sorry, I've indeed had too many social engagements these past few days. Okay, after I get home and wash up, we... will continue. Hmm?"

He deliberately dragged out the last "hmm" in an ambiguous and protracted manner, his eyes filled with blatant teasing.

In response, she pushed him away forcefully and sat heavily back in the passenger seat.

"Click." I fastened my seatbelt.

Then, she gave a cool, mocking smile and said, "Don't just stand there, it's almost time to get off work, or you'll be stuck in traffic."

"Okay, honey, let's go home!" Lin Xuedong breathed a sigh of relief, fastened the seatbelt, and started the car again.

In the bathroom, Lin Xuedong stood under the showerhead, letting the cool water wash over his head.

He looked down at the faint mark on his chest. It was left by Lin Lan, and it hadn't completely faded even after two or three days, which showed how intense the situation had been.

He cursed a few times, feeling a surge of guilt and anger!

Ah Xiao has begun investigating everything in the hotel room and believes he will soon find out the truth. Until then, he will not alert anyone, including Zeng Ziyan, who is the prime suspect.

When he picked Lin Lan up from the hospital that afternoon, seeing her frail and haggard face, he was overwhelmed with guilt. However, what was done was done, and there was nothing he could do.

Knowing he was destined to let down the girl he had hurt, Lin Xuedong thought that all he could do was try his best to make amends and take care of her in every way.

At the same time, the person he felt most sorry for and found hardest to face was Liu Sisi.
